The Modern Contemporaries enjoyed the rare opportunity of working with an artist from the current exhibition, Framing Desire. A selection of Allison V Smith’s photographs from her Marfa Series are on view at the Modern through August 23, 2015. Participants in Smith’s workshop enjoyed pizza, drinks and Allison’s illuminating talk on quick and dirty photography tricks. Smith discussed how everyone is a photographer in our fast paced digital age filled with smart phones, photo apps, filters and other mobile gadgets.
